I feel bad, ALMOST, for the unholy things the Patriots will do to the Jets as a result of this indignity. Yeah, the Hoodie will be merciless. I would not be surprised to see the Patriots run the 2 minute drill for the entire game to run up the score as bad as possible, since that would be the classless thing to do. No running up in the Pro game, the D needs to do there job that there being paid MILLIONS of dollars to do. If they can't stop the O that's getting paid the same millions, I don't see a problem.

Don't think you'll get any argument from any of us there. Oh hey now... I still believe that Dallas can turn it around and make it there. Wouldn't they have to win a playoff game to make that arrangement? ;D

In the college game they all still receive something to play. The thing is, there is such a thing as winning with class and there is winning like Bellicheck. If you are up 5 scores in the 4th, pull your damned starters. Get your backups some reps. You never know when you need to rely on them anyways. It is one thing for your backup QB to run the hurry up in the later stages of a blow out. It is another thing for Tom Brady to be out there throwing bombs when you are up that much in the 4th quarter. The Hoodie was so damned lucky that Brady did not get hurt the last time he pulled that unnecessary crap.

Oh hey now... I still believe that Dallas can turn it around and make it there. I'm as diehard a Dallas fan as you'll find here. Hell I consider myself the grand Cowboys poobah on here for the simple fact I've been here longer than my brethren; All that said, barring something miraculous, this team has showed what they are the last couple of years. Today quite indicative of that. If I'm wrong, I'll ( gleefully and giddily) eat my words, but as of right now- ain't gonna happen, and given the way they fold and fall back down to earth once they start playing well, they don't deserve it. So here's hoping, tempered with pragmatism. I feel ya there. The defense is about the only saving grace here. I don't buy that Wade is the guy that can take this team anywhere, Miles Austin is coming back to earth, Roy Williams is TO with the problems of TO and none of his stats or athletic ability, other teams are figuring out the running game, and we're getting December/January Romo early this year. There's really nothing that I see from this team right now that convinces me that they're any better than a first round exit if even that.

That ... THAT kind of game tonight is the reason I watch football. Worth the hype and then some, as good as the AFC Championship game a few years back. Too bad we can't see many competitive games nowadays that are actually well-executed. Manning showed why he is, to me, the best quarterback of this era.
I'm in the camp with everyone that says Belichick should have punted. While it was only 2 yards and they were close to having it, there were several things wrong with the scenario. - One: It shows zero confidence in your defense. A defense that is tired yes, but one that gave Manning issues just a couple of drives earlier, and that Manning would've had to march down the field to get a TD on instead of giving a short field to. If it was at the 50 or other 40 then maybe it's more reasonable, but that was just a bad place to attempt that. - Two: If you don't get the yardage, which they didn't, it ends up being a huge momentum change both for the fans and the players on the sideline, which is what ended up happening. - Three: Assuming that you thought that Manning would score again with the long field, not only would you have to march down the field with a minute or so left, but you'd have to do it without any time-outs. And that's if the Colts wouldn't have run the clock down the same they did on that last drive anyway. Either way a 70-yard field is better than a 30-yard one.
That said, if the call had worked it would have been seen as ballsy. Which it was, but it would've been any less dumb just because it worked. It just would've worked. Bill puts his balls on the chopping block, and Manning hacked away at them. The real mistake was them wasting the two time-outs and not going at Moss/Welker more those last drives when it was clear that Indy had no answers to them.

If Belchick was going for it all anyway, why did he call for a play for a dink pass thrown ON the first down line instead of 5 to 10 yards away which would leave no doubt that it was a first down if caught? You never put yourself in a position to leave it up to the officials to decide when you can help it.

Is it too late for me to make fun of the Cowboys?
I mean seriously, their only score was in Garbage Time. After being told this was some elite team.... their offense was complete and total garbage last night.
Awful. Totally and completely awful.
It's not like Reggie White came back from the dead to stuff the Cowboy's either. The mediocre Pack took it to the Cowboys and stuffed their face into the dirt.

It's not like Reggie White came back from the dead to stuff the Cowboy's either. The mediocre Pack took it to the Cowboys and stuffed their face into the dirt. Not really. Cowboy resentment is a 24/7 thing. I still laugh at the fact that they haven't won a playoff game since the era of Troy Aikman. I'm also glad to see Romo lose in November, although I'm disappointed that they averted a shutout. Here's my thoughts on some of the games: 1. The Most Meaningless Game of the Week: Kansas City knows what can cure all their ills: road trips to Oakland. JaMarcus Russell is benched, and the percentage of those who consider him a "bust" have risen from 99.87% to 100%. 2. You Know You Suck When a Punter Gets a Touchdown Off of You: Hunter Smith threw his second touchdown pass as Washington beat Denver, and Jim Zorn is safe... for now. You have to wonder something here; was Denver actually worse than what the record indicated? I mean, once again, they let a lead slide in the AFC West against San Diego, in addition to losing Kyle Orton for their meeting next week. I think the Chargers will have an easier time getting the division title again. 3. Saints Stay Unbeaten: By overcoming the Rams. They're 9-0, as are another team, one that I root for. 4. All the Really Crappy Teams Stayed Crappy: Tampa Bay and Detroit lost, as well, although Tampa Bay did have a shot of winning that game, but they're still a crappy team. 5. Belichick Makes a Gamble, and Leaves Indianapolis Without His Hoodie (figuratively): Boy, that was some game. I mean, it did live up to the billing that NBC kept hyping as "the Rivalry of the Decade", and you cap it off with an amazing Colts comeback (including a Pierre Garçon TD... God, I love that name). However, the game will not be remembered for that comeback, but rather what Belichick did on a Fourth and Two. Granted, it was a ballsy play that, if successful, would've ended the game, but if not, it would give the Colts a VERY short field. The gamble failed, and Manning threw a pass to Reggie Wayne. Let the discussion continue.

I think I am now a Titans fan for the act their owner put on after the win against BUffalo. He was very animated and jovial with his use of the bird, and I laughed for a good ten minutes about it. I can only hope he paid the reported $7500 in pennies.

Crappy teams have stayed crappy, except the Titans.
Have a feeling they might play spoiler for some teams playoff hopes. Chris Johnson looks like just about the best player in the league, not just runningback.

He's put up 70 points the last two weeks for me total, so I couldn't be happier.

Cleveland at Detroit next week. Makes Chiefs and Raiders look like a damn playoff game.
I said it in the middle of the Sunday night game part of the thread, but if the games break like they could next week, the NFC could have:
New Orleans and Minnesota on top;
St. Louis, Detroit and Tampa Bay on the bottom;
and
Dallas, Philadelphia, New York, Washington, Green Bay, Chicago, Carolina, Atlanta, Arizona, San Francisco and Seattle all at 6-4, 5-5, or 4-6
PARITY! YAY!!
The AFC could be just as ugly, but at least there is some clarity in terms of who the good and bad middle-of-the-pack teams are (hard to argue that 5-4 J'Ville or Houston is better than 6-3 New England or Pittsburgh).

Cleveland at Detroit next week. Makes Chiefs and Raiders look like a damn playoff game. Just make it Josh Cribbs vs Calvin Johnson in some kind of skills competition. It would be more entertaining and a bigger draw than the actual game.

It would be more entertaining and a bigger draw than the actual game. And just think, it's just a warm-up for the most epic suck-fest known to man at the end of the season with Oakland-Cleveland. Seriously, if the NFL wanted to make some money, they should contact the NCAA and have TCU play Oakland and Florida play Cleveland. Those would be more entertaining, and probably more competitive.

Chris Johnson looks like just about the best player in the league, not just runningback. They will easily be the Cardinals' first road loss. 1) Road game IN COLD WEATHER! Cards haven't faced that so far this season. Oh, and Kurt Warner sucks balls in cold games. 2) Trap game (they play Minnesota the week after) 3) Titans have absolutely nothing to lose. Cards will be approaching possible #3 playoff seed status. 4) Super Bowl hangover has to kick in sometime.
